Since Food is one of the most singularly important factors in overall health, student's from 11th Gymnasio of Heraklion have produced their own Christmas cookies.
The food we eat literally becomes who we are, and influences our physical, mental and even emotional well-being.
A poor diet has been proven as a cause of conditions such as hypertension, heart and blood vessels diseases, obesity, and diabetes.
Nutritious food choices and especially homemade meals not only contribute to optimal brain health but can actually be a tool for supporting and even improving cognition. But the most importnt of all is that it is fun!
The children of the Drama team got into the spirit of Christmas and, wishing to promote good nutrition even in the traditional sweets domain, they made cookies at school on Friday 13 December. The sweets were used for our School Bazaar as well as for students from the Primary School in the area.
So the young actors wore aprons, washed hands and became confectioners with the guidance of the team's teachers and the Headmaster of our school, Mrs Kokotsaki Antonia.
